BCCI

The Committee of Administrators (CoA) running Indian cricket decided against taking any stand on the World Cup clash against Pakistan but said it would individually urge ICC members to ‘sever ties with any nation that is a terrorist hub’.

Former Pakistan star Javed Miandad slammed BCCI for reportedly planning to bar Pakistan from the ICC ODI World Cup. There is absolutely no chance of the ICC listening to the BCCI as its constitution allows members the right to participate in its events,” Miandad was quoted by Dawn.

Team India’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of Australia’s tour of India due to lower back stiffness, a BCCI statement said. Ravindra Jadeja is named as replacement of Pandya for 5-match ODIs.

A top official of the BCCI stated that the World Cup match between India and Pakistan will not take place if the Indian government is against it. It was further clarified by the official that the Indian board has not approached the International Cricket Council (ICC) in the matter.
